Changan's Qiyuan E07 Is The Innovative Electric SUV With Pickup Potential

Meet the Qiyuan E07, an electric SUV breaking the mold from China's Changan Automobile! This EV tackles the usual drawbacks of coupe-SUV combos with a smart design twist.

The Qiyuan E07 isn't just an SUV; it transforms into a pickup thanks to a unique sliding rear glass section, giving it the nickname "trucklet." While this feature might seem like a novelty, it adds a distinctive flair to the vehicle.

Interestingly, this concept draws inspiration from the mid-1960s Studebaker Wagonaire, a wagon with a retractable sliding roof. Setting itself apart, the Qiyuan E07 features a separate tailgate, eliminating the need to slide the roof for cargo access.

However, it's unclear if the cabin is fully separated from the cargo area. Despite not being the most practical pickup, it combines the sleek profile of an SUV with the versatility of a pickup, a niche untouched by conventional trucks with canopies.

Under the hood, the Qiyuan E07 boasts a single-motor setup producing 338 hp. Opt for the all-wheel-drive variant, and an additional 252-hp motor kicks in, totaling an impressive 590 hp. The EV offers a choice of 20- and 21-inch wheels, enhancing its dynamic appeal. This fusion of electric power, innovative design, and dual functionality positions the Qiyuan E07 as a captivating addition to the ever-evolving electric vehicle landscape.
